Episode 013 - A Tough-Ass Mazzy Star with Amanda Blank - a podcast by Joe (Dirty South Joe), Mike (Low Budget)

The crew is joined by Amanda Blank to talk about the ever-changing state of Philadelphia, prioritizing working with friends, the enduring influence of Gwen Stefani and Peaches, writing for pop stars, life on the road and backstage Destiny's Child karaoke with Bjork, pivoting into indie rock from rap, superficial empowerment songs, parallels between Cardi B and Fiona Apple and women dominating in 2019 rap and club music.

But before the interview, we discuss some recent puzzling requests, the Beyonce-curated Lion King soundtrack, regionalism in the Republic of Texas, Old Town Road's new record achievements, Dababy and Lil Baby finally uniting, animal sounds in the DJ music library, and the latest Weird Al-style dancehall reinterpolation.
